IPR005690

Description

IPR005690 is a Translocase of chloroplast Toc86/159.

<p>This entry represents the translocase of chloroplast 159 family of proteins (Tocs), GTPases involved in protein precursor import into chloroplasts, which recognise chloroplast-destined precursor proteins and regulate their presentation to the translocation channel through GTP hydrolysis [[cite:PUB00095611]]. They have three domains: the N-terminal A-domain is acidic, repetitive, weakly conserved, readily removed by proteolysis during chloroplast isolation, not required for protein translocation [[cite:PUB00007881], [cite:PUB00095611]], and the other domains are designated G (GTPase) and M (membrane anchor) [[cite:PUB00007881]]. The signature for this family includes most of the G domain and all of M. There are at least two distinct Toc159 subtypes, Toc159 and Toc132/Toc120. Toc159 is expressed in young photosynthetic tissues and seems to be specialised in the import of nuclear encoded photosynthetic preproteins from the cytoplasm to the chloroplast, whereas Toc132/Toc120 are expressed relatively prominent in nonphotosynthetic tissues and seem to be specialised in the import of nuclear encoded non-photosynthetic preproteins from the cytoplasm to the chloroplast [[cite:PUB00095611]].</p>
